Chankurst plugin graphics also seemed to be bordering on making the game unplayable (So I need to get the game running on the NullDC video plugin again plz). when I try to move on from this screen, the game crashes to a black screen again. When I tried changing what I think is the video plugin, to the chankurst one, it loaded up what appeared to be a cheats screen (giving me options to give characters infinite health etc), which it never did before :s…. When I start the game up, the screen loads the DC logo and asks for the date and time to be input, then it starts loading the game (game music is audible, though no picture shows), then I press v (A) or shift (start) and the screen changes from a grey or purple screen to a black one and the game music stops… nothing further happens. This has happened twice (I restarted the game by reinstalling the emulator first time round). I can handle the occasional crash… but restarted the emulator then and now when I try to play, the game no longer works at all. Im using NullDC version 1.0.3 on vista and twice now, while playing skies of arcadia (which has worked fine up until this crash), the game has crashed to a black screen after I’ve left the in-game menu (using the “C” button). Just ask anyone at the place you downlod the file wether it’s auto-boot or not.
In short, all the process you did up there is useless unless the image/game file you download is truly Auto-Boot when made/handed by a certain someone. Which is IF the image itself is not Auto-Boot/Self-Boot. But there’s 1 possibility that you can’t play. Reading the media from the HDD is much faster anyway, so why bother to insert disc? Unless you don’t have enough space. Alternatively, you can burn the image onto a disc and let the plugin read it. But it’s all just about the pre-programmed method of the media. I know it sounds kinda dumb coz it still reads the image from the Hard Disk instead of an inserted CD/DVD. It enables you to choose an active CD/DVD Drive OR the mounted/booted image from Daemon to let you play. So from there on, there’s the use of the other GDrom plugin i told you to change. Meaning, it makes the PC think as if there’s a real CD/DVD inserted inside the Drive. It creates a Fake DVD Drive with the selected file booted. You see, when you mount/boot an image file using Daemon Tools. What i mean is a disc inserted to your CD/DVD Drive. That will enable the emulator to read an active disc instead. Instead, please change the GDrom plugin first: nullDC > Options > Select Plugins > Choose the plugin OTHER than Image Reader by drk|Raziel & GiGaHeRz. If you’re mounting/booting an image using Daemon Tools, you CAN’T choose the image file using the standard method of nullDC > Start > Select Image File > Choose your CDI file. nullDC 1.3 was supposed to be nullDC 1.x (more than 6) but due to them currently reprogamming the gamepad plugin which makes it unavailable, they had to name it as nullDC 1.3 instead. This may sound funny but 1.3 is the latest opposed to 1.6. I’ve been using the latest nullDC 1.3 myself so i might forget a bit about 1.6.
